In the latest episode [Dave] takes us through the nitty-gritty of switch mode power supply design. Using DC-DC converter IC’s in not especially hard. The datasheets tend to have fairly good ...

A two-part series that covers the basics of power supply design in the context of industrial functional safety.

Well, you buy a switching power supply IC, add an inductor and you ... In this installment of Circuit VR, we’ll look at a simple buck converter — that is a switching regulator that takes ...

Most AC-DC power supplies and DC-DC converters have internal current-limiting circuits to protect the power device, and to some degree its load. The majority of over-current-protections include an ...

Torex Semiconductor has created a nano-power dc-dc converter that can occupy only 7.7 x 3.1mm with all external capacitors – the necessary inductor is inside the device package. Called XCL108 and ...

A power supply for electronic devices. Also called an "AC adapter" or "charger," power adapters plug into a wall outlet and convert AC to a single DC voltage. Computers use multiple DC voltages ...

You can find this information on each one’s power supply or AC adapter. Scenario 2: Bridge power blips and shut down a computer Your goal here is to make sure all your devices that need to ...
